Why a Brain Injury Case Is So Complex
Brain injuries, especially traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), present unique challenges that set them apart from other personal injury cases. The long-term effects are often unpredictable, and symptoms may not appear immediately after the accident. The full extent of the injury can take years to manifest fully, making it difficult to accurately calculate the lifetime costs of care.
Insurers and defendants aggressively fight to reduce their liability because the financial stakes are so high in these cases. This calls for a law firm that knows how to aggressively counterattack their tactics so that your claim leads to an optimum outcome. John Michael Morrow Law Firm has earned a respected reputation in high-value catastrophic injury cases because of our comprehensive strategies and highly successful case outcomes.
Common symptoms and effects of brain injuries can include:
- Cognitive deficits. Memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and impaired judgment.
- Physical impairments. Headaches, dizziness, loss of balance, and motor skill difficulties.
- Emotional and behavioral changes. Personality shifts, depression, anxiety, and sudden mood swings.
Insurance companies are notorious for exploiting these complexities. They may argue that the symptoms are not related to the accident, are pre-existing, or are being exaggerated. Without a lawyer, you risk accepting a settlement that fails to cover extensive and ongoing medical, therapeutic, and financial needs.
Compensation You May Be Entitled to for Brain Injuries
A brain injury settlement should cover your past, present, and future losses. Our goal is to secure comprehensive compensation that includes:
- Medical expenses. All costs related to the injury, including emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and ongoing care from specialists.
- Lost wages and earning capacity. Compensation for income lost due to the accident and the projected income the injured can no longer earn.
- Non-economic damages. Damages for physical pain and suffering, as well as the emotional distress, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life.
